Multiple drivers spinning on 1st day of 2nd test. There were quite a few offs today as well. Apparently it was too cold for tyres. Also little surprised by lack of enthusiasm amongst F1 fans about this whole testing. This year I am seeing considerably less interaction even on social media. Last year the twitter was absolutely going mad with shots of every little new component the lenses managed to grab at the circuit.Seeing almost next to nothing of that this year. Whatever little info and pics coming out are seeing very little to no interaction.

P.S. Even pf1 forums are so silent.

Could it be because Mercedes seem to have shown they will dominate 2020 already?

Have they though? Theyve shown the DAS. Its benefit in terms of its impact on the overall package is yet to be seen. A lot of sources are pointing towards Red Bull being fairly competitive out of the box as well.

It's only testing. A resurgent Ferrari in recent years has fuelled excitement for what was to come.. and the paddock was awash with excitement that Ferrari had finally developed the quickest car last year.. this year expectations were pummeled a little with all the media hype over the DAS.

Stable regs and a massive shift next year means most teams cars will be fairly stable.

Who are you trying to kid, they win the double again.

My gut tells me Red Bull will be close.. or is that hope?

Maybe closer than last year, but 2020 is still a Merc year. Nothing in my view has shown that the others have caught up with Merc, not after 4 days of testing. If nothing else, Mercedes brought out a new weapon. Even without the DAS they'd be a 80-90% bet for the WDC/WCC in my view. I do hope I'll eat my hat and we do get an exciting season with a different WDC/WCC, but it is more of wishful thinking at this point.

I wouldn’t be hugely surprised but also wouldn’t be surprised to see them half a second down for the first half of the season.

Mercedes engine reliability issues are not a concern then?

Do they have any real reliability issues?? Apart from little hick ups that they iron out, just like everyone else
